@Little-Leopard, amazing results, I'll have to go back and catch up a bit. @kfigerm, howdy.
Hi Chaps, apologies for long time between posts. I feel I finally have some useful information to post after puzzling over these pyramids and trying to figure out too much stuff all at once. After dozens of pyramids I have arrived at a routine that works pretty well for hand watering. I've settled on the basic GP3 or GH nutes with no additives. The occasional plant is susceptible to getting some leaf necrosis, which I have deduced is down to some plants being a bit prone to having their roots with too much water. It is a bit puzzling and it's only the small pyramids that seem to show this.
I'll be moving everything into a 32" x 60" tent soon, and I have now finished my second large pyramid, more on that in a minute, I've settled on a simply nute formula of 30ml Micro 20ml Grow 25ml Bloom, to start, then 20ml Micro 10ml Grow and 30ml Bloom after a few weeks. Then maybe 10ml Micro and 40ml Bloom for the final weeks. Plus a bucket of pH6 water to use. I think I had a few dodgy seeds and also I've been cutting down how moist they are to begin with. Up until the first 4 weeks I try to just water from the outside and let the bottom stay a bit dryish, this seems to help with avoiding necrosis.
I'll be growing one large and two small pyramids every 5 weeks. First ones went well, and are almost finished, tried a new supplier with fat juicy looking seeds AK-47 from mediseedman.com one in a small pyramid and one in a large pyramid, they both started off looking pretty much the same (for a change) so I thought it would make a good test. The flower structure is a bit different on the small pyramid and also the small one faded nicely but the big pyramid seems to hold a lot of nutrient and the leaves stayed very green but I gave them no N other than what they already held, and I'm trying to give them a full 10 weeks. Small one harvested at 9 weeks and the large pyramid is going for another week.
So here is the first 5 weeks of AK-47 in large and small pyramid and one BCN Critical XXL
After planting the next three a Tre Lime Sorbetto, Orange Cookies, and Blue Nurdz, I discovered tiny little white dots which turned out to be animals. They are very small, needed a 10 x loupe to be able to tell they are aphid like, maybe root aphids, so this was a bit depressing
I bought some commercial neem oil and mixed up a bucket, it went milky white so looks to be already emulsified. I sprayed them at first then I just thought fuckit and soaked them in the bucket twice, drained and soaked again, I did the same a week later, expecting everything to be dead. Because I washed all the nutrients away everything was yellow
So that was on the 9th Feb where they are two weeks old, but two weeks later on the 23rd and they have survived their trauma, so I am pretty impressed with that.
Will be updating the final 5 weeks of AK 47 and BCN Critical soon.
